Howard Tomlinson (32) o Crater and Jim Hill (43) of Medford high appear to be swinging arms in a midair dance routine here after a battle for a rebound in Friday's Southern Oregon con ference basketball game at Central Point. The ball went Medford Knots for 2nd Spot With 61-59 Nod Over Crater SOl'THKBN OBKOON l ONr r.KENCIi STANDINGS (As of Friday) W. L. Grtmts Pass 8 4 Craler 7 5 Medford 7 5 Klamath Falls 6 6 Ashland 2 10 Pet. .667 .583 .583 .500 .167 Central Point- The come-from-back-in-the-pack surge of the Medford Black Tornado in Southern Oregon conference basketball was continued here Friday night in a down to the buzzer scramble. Mcdford's forward edging cagers squeezed by Crater high's recalcitrating Comets 61 to 59 to pull even with the Fireballs in the District 6 A-2 standings. It was the fourth slraight win-the second in a row by a whisker-for the Hurricanes. The two clubs, wrapping up the third of four rounds in the circuit, shared second place with 7-5 records behind the 8-4 of the Cavemen of Grants Pass. Jack Forde of Medford flip ped a jumper from the circle with 2:57 on the clock for a bucket which broke the last of the game's nine deadlocks. And, the Tornado then, in intense rugged final moments playing control ball when it had possession fought hard and weathered the rally ef forts of the Comets. Shots Miss With 2:33 left Medford's Dan Miles missed a free toss chance. Crater rebounded and Mike Glincs' driver failed to go in for the Central Pointers. A rebound try also missed. With 1:23 to go. Paul Bran som missed a free shot for the Comets and Forde retrieved the falling ball for Medford. Crater's Pat Pepper inter cepted a Medford pass but his teammate, Lou Alvarez, was whistled for offensive charg ing, giving Medtord the ball out-of-bounds. With 10 seconds on the clock the Tornado's Dich Benncr had a pair of free shot chances but made neither. With four seconds left Miles had a gift oppor tunity and also missed. As the horn sounded Pepper let fly a long, long try for the hoop. The ball was over the backboard. Except for a Medford splurge to a 10-point gap at the outset of the second half, it was a close fought tussle. And, for the most part it was well-played by both clubs with the first half particularly hav ing firey offensive tone. There were nine lead switches along with the ties in the ruckus.

Phone 779-1966 NATIONAL '-: I BRAKE CENTER 1216 North Court Larry Vowell with 13 headed the Black Tornado scoring but the Comets' Howard Tomlin son was high marker man with 23 for the evening. Crater was on top at the quarter 16 to 14, Medford at the half 38 to 36 and Crater after three cantos 52 to 49. As the second half got un derway, it appeared that the Tornadoes would take full control. Jim Hill scored off a Forde assist. Vowell, wide open, hit a jumper from mid range. Dan Miles goaled from the side of the circle and Forde followed with a push from similar range. Score was 46 to 36 with less than two minutes played in the third quarter. The Fireballs then got the aid of free tosses to pull back even with the Whirlwind. Af ter Neil Rivenburg put in two free heaves and Bransom one and Forde hit from the side of the slot the score was 48 to 39. Then, Tomlinson can ned a field goal and gift toss and Pepper a brace of charity heaves for 48 to 44. Tomlinson hemped a re bound shot and sank a long push try for a 48-all tie with 1:52 to go in the quarter. Pepper netted a jumper off a break to put the Comets on top 50 to 48. Forde got a foul shot for Medford but Riven burg hit from the side for Crater's three-point intermis sion span. Forde hit a jump shot for Medford and Lou Alvarez a free point for Crater. Then Mike Neathamer sank a jump from the circle side for a knot of 53 each. Two Neathamer free shots put Medford in front again. Vowell roped a wriggling layup for 57 to 55. Alvarez goaled for Crater and Benner for Medford for 59 to 55. Crater got back even on Tomlinson's two free tosses and Alvarez's long push for 59-alI with 3:07 yet to play. Seconds later Forde got Medford's final goal. First half was real nip and tuck. Score was knotted three times in the first quarter. Crater moved to a 13 to 8 spread then the margin was two and four points until Forde hit a turning jumper for 18-all. The Comets went top again on Pepper's free shot.

Not that they needed any extra help, but it appears now that the world champons can count on Luis Arroyo to take his accustomed spot in the bullpen this season. Arroyo, the portly Puerto Rican who helped the Yan kees win the AL pennant in 1961, hardly pitched at all last year after developing calcium deposits in his left elbbw. In fact, he pitched a total of only 34 innings, which included only a couple of short stints after the All Star games. Thursday's the likeable "quiet man" of the Yankee relief corps threw hard dur ing a workout for battcryman at Fort Laudcdalc, Fla., and predicted his arm miseries are a thing of the past. "If it stays like this, I've got nothing to worry about," Arroyo said jubilantly. "I am confident I'll be able to help the club this year."

There is talk in the spring training camps that before everybody is signed, the Na tional league champions will have the highest payroll in the history of baseball - with the possible exception of the New York Yankees. The infield is going to cost the Giants about $100,000; the outfield better than $200, 000; the "big four" pitching staff will go over $100,000. And the catching about $50, 000. That adds up to $450,000 without all the reserves, re lief pitchers, pinch hitlers, etc., who will bring the total well past the $600,000 mark. This is exclusive of manager Alvin Dark, who also is in the high income bracket. THIS SUNBEAM ALPINE OWN THIS QUALITY PERSONAL CAR FOR LESS THAN MOST COMPACTS!
